This Old Town







A jazzy music welcomed us.
As my sister and I get off of our car in front Braga Citywalk Mall.
Creating a lovely vibe.
We took a little stroll along Braga street.
Couldn't bear not to take any picture.
It is not that this is our first time.
But the vibe of an old town always fascinates.

Makes me wonder how it was before, in 1940s.
Vintage cars passing by.
Dutch girls wearing midi skirts.
Boys wearing knee-high socks.
Indonesian girls wearing kebaya.
European styled buildings.
A mix of Bahasa and Dutch writings above every shop door.

And how it is now, in 2016.
Today's cars and motorbikes passing by.
People wearing casual clothes.
Lots of vintage themed restaurants.
Some not vintage themed restaurants.
Remaining European styled details in buildings.
And the rain that starts falling.

Yes, unfortunately rain starts falling not so long after we got there.
Wouldn't let me to take pictures of my surroundings
or even enjoying it a little more.
And so we ran back to the mall.
